It’s looking increasingly like Clinton versus Trump

After last week’s embarrassment in Michigan the latest round of primaries saw Clinton win in all five states at stake and now looks like the presumptive nominee.
The crucial swing state of Ohio which Sanders had been threatening to take went to Clinton by a clear margin.
Trump’s road to his party’s nomination looks a little less clear following Kasich’s clear victory in his home state of Ohio meaning that he picks up all 66 delegates. But overall a good evening for the property billionaire with a particularly pleasing victory over Rubio in delegate-rich Florida. The latter has now quit the race which is down to three.
It is possible that Trump could arrive at the July convention in Cleveland without the required delegate total but it is hard to see how he could be blocked.
This looks like a Clinton Trump contest.
Perhaps worth recalling that the last time that the Republicans won the White House without a Nixon or Bush on the ticket was 1928
